Doubtless Bay, Northland

Vara Prasada (sacred gifts) is a 16 hectare beachfront sanctuary bestowing peace and tranquillity on all who enter. The estate is a distinctive and inviting property that embraces luxury and unrivalled splendour.

Upon entering Vara Prasada unique treasures unfold – from the 3.64 hectare native forest with heritage Pohutukawa trees to the Balinese and Thai statues perched amongst the native gardens – and on through the sweeping expanses of lawns to the private sandy beach, this property will awaken your senses.

The Location:
Vara Prasada is situated between the Carrington Resort & Golf Club and internationally acclaimed Kauri Cliffs Resort & Golf Club, all of which are in the heart of New Zealand’s winterless Far North. Overlooking the pristine waters of Doubtless Bay, Vara Prasada is a four hour drive from Auckland or 45 minutes via helicopter.

The Landscape:
Vara Prasada is a sun drenched, north-facing property spread across 16 hectares of rural coastland. The terrain is contoured to steep, comprising of a lush regenerating native forest, rolling green pastures and paddocks, ponds, and a spectacular golden sand beach. The beach is secluded and offers a great place for relaxing, swimming, fishing or collecting New Zealand’s famous green lipped mussels.

• North-facing property (Ideal in the Southern Hemisphere)
• Golden sandy beachfront for swimming & fishing
• 500 to 900 year old Pohutukawa trees

The Residence:
A meticulously planned and well appointed 325 square metre home nestled into a rugged outcropping overlooking Doubtless Bay.
The magnificent entrance features a 23 metre long walkway constructed with 100 year old recycled Jarra hardwood beams that open to a sheltered courtyard and grand entrance.
The home, with its generous 5 metre soaring hardwood ceilings, is divided into three separate areas: A central great room with open plan dining and kitchen, an ensuite guest bedroom and ensuite master bedroom. Each room has been thoughtfully designed with immaculate detail and supremely crafted with the finest materials available from around the world, including:

• French beaumanière limestone kitchen island and flooring.
• American cherry cabinetry throughout the home.
• Philippine mahogany ceilings.
• 100 year old recycled Australian Jara hardwood.

Retractable glass doors make an easy transition from indoors to outdoors. Complimenting the relaxed flow of the house is 430 square meters of kwila decking and Italian tiled courtyards. Coupled with four fireplaces (two indoors, two outoors), four outdoor infrared heaters and built-in BBQ, the home beckons as an entertainer’s delight.
Few properties in the world can match the natural beauty of the private access beach, the heritage of the native forest or the sophisticated architectural style of this timeless waterfront retreat.
